Senator Mike Lee's Response to the State of the Union Address

[Syncro]

Thanks onyx, much better and easier to watch archived on Lee’s website.

All the dead air and other “noise” edited out.

We did get it back up for this thread. A poster found it where You Tube hid it and I had the mods put it in the link at the top.

He did quite well!

Thanks for posting onyx. Finally listened to it. An excellent speech, made excellent points, especially the ones on "inequality" and the Boston Tea Party comparison. Am passing it on to everyone I know.

From Mike Lee's speech:

"In 1773, Americans had simply had it with a London-based national government that had become too big, too expensive and far too intrusive."

"It took them 14 long years to get from Boston to Philadelphia, where they created, with our Constitution, the kind of government they did want."

"Now, as in 1773, Americans have had it with our out-of-touch national government. But if all we do is protest, our Boston Tea Party moment will occupy little more than a footnote in our history."

"Hopefully our leaders, reformers and citizens will join the journey from Boston to Philadelphia – from protest to progress. Together we can march forward and take the road that leads to the kind of government we do want."

Well said Senator Lee.
